Low‐moisture foods (LMF) and their production environment, if contaminated with Salmonella, Cronobacter, EB, and STEC, can pose a very serious threat to vulnerable consumers. It is worth re‐evaluating the potential food safety risk within your production environment and ensuring your microbiological testing program aligns with your goals.

A food recall is action taken to remove from distribution, sale and consumption, food which is unsafe. This means food that may cause illness or other physical harm to a person consuming the food.

This Protocol helps food businesses plan for and respond to a need to recall potentially unsafe food by setting out:

• the roles and responsibilities of food businesses and government during a food recall
• the key steps in the food recall process
• the legal requirements for food businesses in relation to food recalls
• important elements of a food recall plan.

The Protocol also includes details on:

• writing a food recall plan for your food business
• contact details for FSANZ and state/territory food enforcement agencies
• an explanation of how recalls are classified
• flow diagram to assist with deciding if food should be recalled or withdrawn
• examples of recall notifications.
